They fucking DCMA'd themselves for fucks sake

Oh, I want to hear the story behind this.

they had a complete meltdown when some people got tears of the kingdom early via shipping mishaps, so went on a massive rampage of DMCA notices to take down everything mentioning it. Youtube Videos, News Articles (that contained nothing but nintendo released official screen shots/images), and their own twitter account advertising the fucking game...

Incidentally, I've only really found a YT video and this KYM page talking about how Nintendo DMCA'd themselves. That should've been the headline of any gaming outlet - https://knowyourmeme.com/news/nintendo-accidentally-copyright-strikes-itself-in-its-effort-to-combat-tears-of-the-kingdom-leaks
